Who we are HaHaHa ImPro Theater is the first professional improv group in Bulgaria. First, and foremost, we believe that our work is a craft. There is no content, nor artistic statement to be found in our show, there is only an excessive desire for fun. HaHaHa ImPro was established on 5.06.2009, had its first public performance on 19.12.2009, and today has had over 300 shows on stages such as Slavianska Beseda, Modern Theatre, Graphite gallery – Varna, Tears and Laughter Theater, Mixtape 5 Club, National Assembly Square, The Archaeological Museum of Varna and Vlaykova Cinema Hall. We’ve played in Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Vidin, Stara Zagora, Lovech, Blago- evgrad; and abroad in Paris, Berlin, Luxembourg, Brussels and Vienna. We have participated in International Theatre Festival Varna Summer, TEDxBG, Gorichka, Buskers Play In, Rzhana, Sofia Breathes, Airheads and Beglika Festival. We’ve performed at corporate events for Nestle, Kraft Foods, HP, Goodyear Dunlop, GlaxoSmithKline, MSD - Bulgaria, Lidl, Nemetschek, Eyeworx, Saatchi and Saatchi, Mall Bulgaria, Mall Serdika, Philips, Sterling Office and Sandvik. In 2010 HaHaHa ImPro started offering an improv program for amateurs that has led to several spin-off groups, which have also begun performing publicly. Since 2014 we have been actively collaborating with Casper Shelbred (Denmark / France) to exchange best practices and create multi-genre projects, successfully blending contemporary clowning and impro- visational theater. 2 HaHaHa ImPro Theater SERVICES 2018/2019

What we do We regularly host short form shows in Sofia, Plovdiv and Varna. In this format the actor's skill is regarded as sport – speed of thought, exchange and partnership are the essence of the game and form the founda- tion, whereas genre and atmosphere simply add flavor. While success is appreciated, failure is pure enter- tainment. Additionally, we present long form performances which are more elaborate and ephemeral. Here, the actors work with the development and flow of the whole piece, playing to create various sensations for the audience. Imagine an improvised movie. We have a great interest in developing new formats and tools, as well as in searching for ways to integrate other arts and mediums. We’ve created a pilot radio show, a whole pile of short videos, a slapstick perfor- mance, a flash mob, a unique teambuilding-brainstorming session, and who knows what other extravagant productions will come next? 4 HaHaHa ImPro Theater SERVICES 2018/2019
What we offer In our rather short history, HaHaHa ImPro has frequently worked for corporate clients, and not only as part of entertainment programs or advertisements. We’re always ready to step out of the comfort of play- ing for our regular audience and to challenge ourselves by developing a specific show that meets our cli- ent’s needs. We hereby present our products in seven abstract categories: 5 HaHaHa ImPro Theater SERVICES 2018/2019

It is hard for me to express how grateful and happy and touched we were by the gift you gave to the children of SUPTS “Knyaz Boris I”! It was an amazing experience!

Press: Science of Laughter Packed halls four times a month. Audiences all in laughter. Interac- tive show with no script. Actors, unknown to mass audience. No PR or marketing strategy, except one – do what you do best and an audi- ence alone will find you. Perhaps we wouldn’t have believed this could be possible in Sofia, unless we had seen it with our own eyes. "The program," Elena Peneva 9 HaHaHa ImPro Theater SERVICES 2018/2019
„Г ледали сме ги и на открито, но от ноември вече си имат собствена сцена … Видяхме дебютното им представление там и се веселихме от сърце – бяхме малко като в детската градина или като на един от онези купони, където бориш скуката с игри на филмови асоциации. Никога не знаеш накъде ще тръгнат скечовете им – все пак говорим за импровизация, а някои от тях са си убийствено смешни като криминалната история „професия-място-причина за смъртта“ и този, в който говорят един вместо друг. Има и някои по-скучни, които сякаш се точат безкрайно във времето (като по-голямата част от закачките с публиката), но лошо няма – все пак ХаХаХа Импро още не са излезли от първите седем и засега май са ни единствени…“ София Live, 19 декември 2011 10 HaHaHa ImPro Theater SERVICES 2018/2019

Improv is good for your heart, body and mind. It sharpens your perceptions and respect. It is about playing, following, leading, letting go and fooling around. Improv charges you with energy, makes you feel good and makes you smart (eventually). 12 HaHaHa ImPro Theater SERVICES 2018/2019
